Mechanics & Inner Workings

Weapon (flail), legendary (requires attunement by a non-good creature)
Dormant State

• The wielder gains a +2 bonus to damage rolls made with this magic weapon.
• Whenever you damage a creature with Agony, that creature is marked for 10 minutes or until you damage a different creature. When you hit a creature marked in this way with this weapon, the target takes an extra 1d6 piercing damage.

Awakened State

• The extra damage when you hit a marked creature increases to 1d8.
• A marked creature has disadvantage on Constitution checks and Constitution saving throws.
• When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with an attack using Agony, they can immediately make an additional melee attack with this weapon as a bonus action.

Exalted State

• The bonus to damage rolls is increased to +3.
• The extra damage when you hit a marked creature increases to 2d8.
• When the wielder scores a critical hit with this weapon, the target must make a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or become frightened of the wielder for 1 minute. If this saving throw is successful, not only does the target not become frightened, they become immune to this frightening effect for the next 24 hours.
